I currently have a LG 8100 phone. It has a nice camera, MP3 player with stereo speakers on the phone and nice internet. Its made for Verizon and is now really cheap (or free) to get with a 2 year agreement. Ive have mine for a year and still has great battery life (like 2 days atleast).

How much are you willing to pay for it?
 I'm afraid I'll mention way too expensive models...

Got the Chocalate yesterday! I must admit, THE nicest and most appealing phone I've had yet. It's very sleek and super stylish. As far as features go, it's pretty basic, but I would say, it adds a little flare to it too. Reception-wise, haven't experienced anything on the downside. The phone overall is great, just gets a lot of fingerprint marks on it. The touchpad is super sensitive, but works nonetheless. The only thing I am unimpressed about this phone is the fact that it doesn't have that much memory to start with and there is no slot to put an external card in there and there is no speaker phone to use. On the other hand, I'm loving this phone a lot. It's just right for the right person. Texting too, by the way, ain't that bad either. It's pretty userfriendly...UI is quick which I think is a big plus! For those looking to get a new phone, check this one out, because I know I did and I'm happy with it!

Hi there!
Just joined, and haven't a clue how this works! If you want a phone that takes pictures and plays mp3s then get a Sony Ericcson d750i, like me, or get a k750i or a w800, 'coz they all play mp3s and take stunning photos. Plus, you can customise the themes and everything. --BUT-- please, please, PLEASE do not get a motorola, because you'll be really disappointed. The photos it takes are rubbish, the mp3 take hours to get on and the internet is crap. From experience, DO NOT get a motorola. they look nice but are crap. |

I am surprised by your comment jdizzleonline. From my knowledge, Motorola was pretty hot on the market in the past year, they are the only brand IMO capable of challenging SE and Nokia for their phone sales. Samsung, LG and DOpod in my opinion do not have much popularity. As for the chocolate, I have to admit the phone resembles the IPod in 1 way or another and the design is really appealing. I am not here to burst your bubble but the features aren't that super, for e.g. the camera is the same as the phone I bought 2 years ago (a SE K508i).
I am planning to get a new phone next week and I will be getting the SE K800i, it has been on my wishlist for a very long time and I can't wait to get it. |
